Online Shopping Cart...

Hey shanec, from my experience you can go for paypal. It is the best & it's free, no monthly fee to maintain your account. You can easily spend your money online using paypal itself or withdraw money to your bank account in 1 week time.

Just using paypal is not a shopping cart.

I use OSC, or oscommerce myself. Though if I had to do it all over again, I am not so sure I'd use the same. It's a great cart and it's free but it comes so basic, have to do quite a few modifications to get it "better". Also not something you can easily theme or switch themes.

I don't know them off hand but there are a few cart systems for Wordpress. That would probably be the way I would go if I was starting over.

Don't get me wrong, OSC is a great cart, it's worked flawless for me for some time, even set it up for others. Just takes work to get it good.

I like 1shoppingcart because they also have an autoresponder feature - you do have to pay extra for it though.

So everyone who buys from you is automatically on your list and does not have to opt-in. And it has the ability to send a broadcast email or a series of autoresponder emails.

E-junkie is also good and also has an autoresponder option that works a little differently; you pay to send out an autoresponder email to everyone - can't remember how much - it's a minimal amount per person that you email to.

1ShoppingCart is expensive - they charge $99 a month for their full package. But having the autoresponder system integrated in there, and the ability to manage affiliate programs, is awesome.

I am using E-Junkie for a couple of products at the moment and have been really happy with them. It's a fairly easy setup, and in the 12 months I've used them I haven't had any glitches at all.

I use e-junkie and its been perfect and good. They charge $1 to send out your mail to your list there

Hey Dana can you export the list from these guys ?

You can use WP eCommerce for free in your wordpress site and works well and I also set up a special one for bigger clients that is totally free but I will not mention it here.

Just PM me for the details. It is used by thousands of people and businesses and is free.

I use Nanacast.com and love it.

Along with being a shopping cart,
it is catered towards internet marketers
with aweber parcel and is also a podcaster,
product delivery, unlimited membership creator,
rss/Itunes sync, up/down sell, auto-enroll and
affiliate system, remote changes for updating
any pricepoints and content...all with a "Step 1, Step 2,
enter this, now do that" method.

What are you going to be selling? You might could check out Cartfly It also has a widget, that you can embed on any site or blog. It is free, hosting is free. I use it, along with my full site. I might have went with just it if I found it first.

Take a look at mine, if you want to see how they flow.

Hope this helps.

I've used 1shoppingcart, paypal, googlecheckout, ejunkie, and others. I now use a system that does this:

- Shopping cart including for other sites (paste buttons on other sites)
- CRM to manage customers and list segmentation (VERY important)
- Ticket system to manage questions and support. Best of all it's initiated via an email from customers.
- Autoresponder
- Mailing list and must more.

What is it? It's Volusion. Very easy to setup and support is fantastic.

I like 1SC because they have everything. I dislike it because of price ($99/mo for full package) and disadvantage of not having affiliate backlinks going to my site.
Although I think it's not a big deal for active businesses and having everything in one place is great and saves lots of time.
Albeit 1SC was a bit lousy to properly support FedEx shipment (they use API that treat box envelope and box in the same price range, which causes grief with actual FedEx guys).

I like e-junkie - they are cheap, good quality and support digitals.
I dislike e-junkie's way of forcing me to pay every time I want to send email to my customers. They have no way to export list of my customers, so i have to keep my own tracking. You could integrate them with Aweber though with some hassle and use Aweber for autoresponding.
E-junkie also resilient to support recurring subscriptions which is a turn off for my main customers (membership site owners / wordpress).
Otherwise they're great and i'd highly recommend them for flawless digital sales. They're good at tracking frauds.
